      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Surviving The Game is an action movie about an expedition of wealthy men who pay to hunt prey in the Pacific Northwest. The prey in this case is a homeless man who believes he has been recruited by the group to lead a hunt. Ice-T stars as the homeless man hired as the guide, who upon finding himself stalked by the hunters, must use his wits in his fight for survival. Never underestimate a man with nothing to lose. (Gary Reber)

    DVD Picture:
    The 1.85:1 anamorphically enhanced picture is an improvement in all aspects of image quality when compared to the LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 11, but is by no means a reference quality disc by today

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
